| The Dean’s Awards Ceremony, held to recognise School of Law students who had excelled in their studies in 2007, was held on Wednesday evening, 9th April.
The Dean of Law, Professor Gabriël Moens, welcomed the assembled gathering of donor representatives, award winning students and their families, competition winners, Murdoch Student Law Society executive committee and Law School staff.
Professor Moens acknowledged the generous support the School has received from the legal profession. He also noted the important contributions that the School of Law student societies made to the life of the University. The students honoured at the Dean’s Awards Ceremony are an example of the top quality students which the School of Law attracts. The competition to get into Law School is always strong and to achieve at the top of such a group of students is therefore even more prestigious.
The Francis Burt Chambers Law Medal, awarded for the most outstanding academic performance in Law, was presented to David Jenaway. The Dean praised David’s scholastic abilities and commented on the excellence of his grades throughout his studies at Murdoch University. David received the Vice-Chancellor’s commendation for academic excellence in 2003 and 2006. He was also awarded the Australian Politics Prize, the Mallesons Stephen Jaques Prize in Civil Procedure and the Australian Insurance Law Association Prize for Insurance Law. David graduated with First Class Merit Honours. The medal was presented to David by Ms Karen Vernon, representing Francis Burt Chambers.
At the completion of the awards ceremony, guests were invited to socialise over drinks and cocktail food. The evening was also a good opportunity for students to meet and chat with members of the Law profession, academic staff and fellow students.
